Farrell and Asner both say that beating the war drums on Syria is one of many mistakes Obama has made. "I voted for him, but I'm not proud. He hasn't thrown himself on the funeral pyre. I wanted him to sacrifice himself. Instead, he blog has proved himself to be a corporatist, and as long as he's a corporatist, he's not my president," Asner said. "A lot of people have lost hope -- with the betrayals, the NSA spying ... People aren't getting active because 'Who gives a shit?' is essentially the bottom line." Adds Farrell: "I'm frankly deeply disappointed in the president's foreign policy, war-making, his reliance on military rather then diplomatic responses, his use of drones, continued allowance of the Guantanamo prison. <br>Source: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/syria-why-hollywoods-anti-war-623326

"Nobody is going to be the Lone Ranger anymore. They're going to want to be Glen Gould. Okay maybe not Glen." Gould likened the rise of native cinema to a return to tradition. "Traditionally in our communities, we had storytellers way way back when. When film came around, our stories were dictated by non-native people, so we had Italians playing Indians," he said, adding that he would like to now play an Italian mafioso in a movie. "But now we have this wave of aboriginal writers and storytellers." Aboriginal activists have long complained that the so-called Hollywood Indian neither mirrors Native American contemporary reality nor their historical past. Acclaimed Abenaki documentary filmmaker Alanis Obomsawin, who returned to the festival with "Hi-Ho Mistahey," said audiences are more open to real stories about natives. <br>Source: http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/09/06/natives-beat-down-hollywood-indian-image/

Why Hollywood's Anti-War Voices are Quiet on Syria

"This country will either bomb the hell out of Syria or not before Hollywood gets off its ass." RELATED: Jeffrey Katzenberg Throws click Political Might Behind Effort to Oust Mitch McConnell Also, said Asner, unsuccessful efforts to prevent war in Iraq led to complacency among left-wing activists. "We had a million people in the streets, for Christ's sake, protesting Iraq, which was about as kim kardashian calendar illegal as you could find. Did it matter? Is George Bush being tried in the high courts of justice?" asks Asner. "We've been so God-damned stung in this country by false wars, repeatedly, that, how can you believe in any just war with the history we have had?" Another reason some Hollywood progressives have been reticent to speak out against war in Syria, according to Asner, is fear of being called racist. "A lot of people don't want to feel anti-black http://www.nexopia.com/users/rodneyhwww/blog/10-kris-jenner-responds-to-president-obamas-takedown-of-kim-kardashian-and-kanye-west by being opposed to Obama," he said. Asner said Hollywood activists should read a Huffington Post blog item by Dennis Kucinich, where the former congressman lists the "Top 10 unproven claims for war against Syria." "Whether it's a Republican or Democrat president, or Republican or Democrat Congress -- and it doesn't make a God-damned difference -- it behooves us to get off our ass and ask these questions," Asner said. <br>Source: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/why-hollywoods-anti-war-voices-623326

Jane Lynch gets a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

The role was played by actor Corey Monteith, who died in July from a mixture of heroin and alcohol, according to the British Columbia coroner's office. "Work is the best thing for grief," said Lynch. "So we are working on this episode right now, the tribute to our quarterback, our Corey, who was not only quarterback of the football team, but of the Glee Club and I think it does him great justice." During the ceremony, Lynch posed alongside her new star --and even laid down next to it -- as crowds of fans and photographers snapped her photo. She says the Hollywood honor is one she has dreamed of since moving to Los Angeles more than 20 years ago. "In a way -- this is going to sound snooty of me -- I was like, 'Of course,' but in another way, it blows my mind," Lynch said. <br>Source: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-207_162-57601423/jane-lynch-gets-a-star-on-hollywood-walk-of-fame/
